In the 27th episode of AM Mobtalk, Erik Meems, the managing director of Century Autogroep, is our guest. Century recently purchased Porsche Centrum Groningen from Pon. Outgoing presenter Bart Kuijpers, co-host Rolf Westgeest and regular guest Paul de Vries talk to Meems about a wide range of topics. In the podcast: 03:20 The Tax Authorities are sending out inspection letters about the Residual BPM again. 11:00 Start of interview with Erik Meems. 13:50 The relationship between Meems and Pon goes back two decades. Why do Meems and Pon get along? 14:20 Century sold 3,500 new cars, 4,000 used cars and 2,000 bicycles this year. 15:15 Wage increases in the sector were substantial. How can you deal with that? 'We shouldn't work harder, but smarter.' 16:50 Century can find people more easily, but training them requires a lot of attention. 17:40 Other costs are also rising. What does that mean for dealers? 18:40 How does Meems view the financial result? 'A lot is going well, but I am not satisfied.' 20:00 The unions have made strong demands during the collective labor agreement negotiations. 'Working four days a week can certainly improve productivity.' 21:40 Volkswagen had a difficult year. 'We simply belong at the top. It is good that they are now taking action in Wolfsburg.' 25:40 How is the brand landscape changing due to the arrival of new entrants? 26:30 How do Cupra and Seat relate to each other? 28:30 Century has recently become a Porsche dealer again. 'Customers love it, and so do I.' 32:05 At VW, the agency model is on the back burner. 'We have good contact with Pon about this, but we are going for gradualness.' 35:00 What is the status of electrification in the Northern Netherlands? 'Mechanics who never wanted to work on EVs are now doing it and with pleasure.' 39:40 Bicycles are a great success for Century, but they are not integrated into total products. 41:50 Is there currently too much warranty work at dealers due to failure of OEMs? 44:00 Used cars are becoming increasingly important for Century. 'But there is still a lot to be gained.' 47:00 How do you manage a large dealer holding? 50:00 How can you be socially involved as an entrepreneur? And how does it help to have a famous singer as an influencer? 53:05 Is it realistic that Erik's children will ever take over the company?
